LearnEnglish Teens. Shakespeare - Macbeth. Scotland is at war, and has just won a great battle.

Macbeth, a general in the Scottish army, is the hero of the battle. On his way home afterwards, Macbeth and his friend meet three mysterious witches. Somehow, the witches already know Macbeth’s name. They tell him that he is going to be promoted, and that he will be given more money, land and power. When they say ‘Macbeth – the future king’, Macbeth is confused, and doesn’t really believe the witches. Soon afterwards, Macbeth receives a message from Duncan, the king of Scotland. Macbeth’s wife, Lady Macbeth, soon hears about her husband’s success and the witches’ predictions. That night, while King Duncan is sleeping, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth make his guards drunk.

Wells Adapted by EFLshorts.com Chapter 1 ‘I tell you,’ I said angrily, ‘there are no ghosts*. I do not believe* in them.’ ‘It is your choice,*’ said the old man. ‘I am twenty-eight years old,’ I said, ‘and only children believe in ghosts.’ The old woman looked into the fire. ‘You are trying to make me afraid,’ I said and put my glass down on the table.

The old man looked at me and I saw the fire in his eyes. Just then, the door opened and another* old man came in. ‘My husband is right*: this has nothing to do with us. ‘I know,’ I said. ‘You can go alone,’ said the old woman. ‘All right,’ I said. ‘The room is upstairs. ‘Goodnight to you all,’ I said but I did not move. The three of them looked at me and I did not like the look on their faces. They said nothing. ‘Goodnight,’ I said again and this time I left the room. I heard him say: ‘Goodbye.’ *ghost (n) – a dead person’s image *believe (v) – think that something is true *choice (n) – make a decision (between alternatives)

While high speed loop-to-loop coasters and haunted houses are commercial hits of the 20th and 21st centuries, people have been scaring themselves and each other since the birth of the species.

This has occurred through all kinds of methods such as storytelling, jumping off cliffs, and popping out to startle each other from the recesses of some dark cave. And we’ve done this for reasons other than fun: inciting fear is very effective at building group solidarity, teaching the next generation about what to fear and how to survive, and as a means of controlling behavior.

For a more comprehensive history of how we’ve scared ourselves, you can check out SCREAM: Chilling Adventures in the Science of Fear. One of the most interesting things about studying fear is looking at the social constructions of fear and how culture and socialization influence what we’re afraid of. Through fear conditioning, which is connecting a neutral stimulus with a negative consequence, we can create a fear.
